I posted a discussion yesterday. When i checked it today, i was disappointed to that there were no responses on my it. Then i ascertained the reason. There was a misspelled word in the title. I want to correct it but i can't figure out how to edit my discussion. Could you help me out ? Thank you in advance.

There is no way to edit it. i don't think that people would avoid your discussion just because you misspelled a word. At least I wouldn't skip it just because of that. Sometimes people just don't respond much. i started a discussion on slr cameras and only got one response.

I also concur with you. It is because normally we do not see as if we see a proof reading. There are occasions where i have done mistake and I realise afterwards.
We can also mention our error while replying the responses.It depends on the nature of error.

Er, I have deep doubts that a typo is what stopped them responding. More like they found it uninteresting.

Unfortunately you can't modify your discussions in Mylot. It is not allowed. Many people want to have this feature but it is still unavailable now. You can not edit your own discussions and responses. And you also can't delete your posts. Only Mylot admin can have such kind of rights.

There is absolutely nothing you can do. All you have to do is just let it like that and create a more interesting topic to be written and talked about. Thank you

Unfortunately once you submit a discussion here, or post a response back to a discussion there is no way that you can change or add to it, etc. It would be nice but I guess since that is how they keep track of how they pay us, this might be confusing for them to do. Hopefully people will respond back to that discussion anyways at least from now posting this.

I were trying so hard to look for the way to amend my posted replies, comments and so on since the first day I joined mylot.
Until today's date, I am still not manage to find a way to do so.
As such, I shall tell you that there is no way for you to amend your posted discussions, replies and comments.
Before posting, you should preview your article and check if you do need any amendment of not.
This is the only way you can do the amendment before your posting.

We cannot edit our discussions. We can request the admin to delete it. Perhaps you are referring to this discussion:--I tried I could not locate.
In case a member responses the discussion then you can correct the error while replying.

Unfortunately, you can't change any of your discussions/responses here. All you can do is ask Admin to delete it by pressing [!] and then, after it had been deleted, create the another one. :).
It can be a great lesson for us, though - to always see the "preview response" before post something :). ~I am still rarely doing that, maybe just a little proofreading :P.
By the way, I was seeing your started discussions and hadn't found any discussions that have zero response... I guess now you already have responses on your yesterday discussion?

Good thing that you start this discussion, now I know what to do if I need to edit my discussion. But let me share to you what I do to prevent some mistakes in posting. I read it in times and if I can find a wrong grammar I will edit then. I also place myself in other shoes if I understand what I post. It is always free to use the button of preview before you can post it. Happy mylotting
